Laylow was born in 1993 in Toulouse a city in the south of France. He lived there until the age of nine, when he left for Tunisia with his father briefly, before joining his mother in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Then he spent his time in the city of Mirande in the Gers in boarding school, where he met his future manager, and ended up settling in Toulouse. It was at this age that he began the rap through his big brother who introduced him to this art. He was influenced by American artists such as Ja Rule or G-Unit, the bling-bling side of rappers impressing him from his childhood, with French rap coming to him a little later.
He began his career with Toulouse's artist Sir'Klo to form the duo Laylow x Sir'Klo. After a first song called "Attrape nous si tu peux" featuring Wit. Published in 2011, they released their first joint project two years later, "Roulette Russe", as a presentation. Influenced by American rap and especially West Coast rap, this project allowed them to be known little by little in French rap. Signed with Barclay, the Toulouse residents released the same year a new free project. It was also in 2011 that he made a stint in the Rap Contenders Sud.
Laylow joined Montpellier's Wit. for a joint EP, Digital Night, released in November 2015. An 8 track EP accompanied with eight clips with TBMA, the beginning of long collaborations, both with the rapper and the production team.
After several titles and clips published in 2016, he launched his solo career more concretely with Mercy, an EP of ten titles released in December 2016 where he invited various artists featuring including Wit again on two tracks, and armed himself again with the TBMA team, becoming the manufacturing brand of his so-called "futuristic" clips.
His second project released on July 5, 2017, Digitalova, again contained ten titles and new artist collaborations, with Jok'Air and his sidekick Sir'Klo always accompanied by TBMA for the visuals.
His third solo project of ten titles, .RAW was released on 19 June 2018 and hosted a unique featuring with Wit.. The fourth project soon followed on 7 December of the same year: a ten-track EP entitled .RAW -Z and announced only three days before its release, which proved most successful, sincere of his projects followed with a tour in 2019.
After four EPs, Laylow abandoned the format in favor of his first studio album Trinity, released on February 28, 2020. Three titles were pre-released: "Megatron", "TrinityVille" and "Poizon" before release of album, an ambitious opus of 22 tracks with multiple emotions which follows a singular storytelling in French rap, in which the artist finds himself faced with the use of an emotional stimulation software: Trinity. A critical and commercial success for an artist of his stature which allowed him to once again cross a milestone in his career and his identification in French rap.

Laylow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Disons que c'est un mal pour un bien
Aller, fais pas cette tête là, c'est pas la fin
On a encore plein de choses à prouver au monde mon frère
Mais pourquoi tu me suis partout toi?
J't'ai déjà dit on s'connait pas, j'te connais pas
Donc ca y est là, dégage, c'est pas le moment
J'crois que t'as pas vraiment compris mon pote, on fait équipe maintenantBon, techniquement, on fait équipe depuis le départ, mais disons que là
J'pense qu'on est arrivé au point où va falloir que tu m'écoutes un peu plus
Vas-y laisse tomber, j'comprends rien à c'que tu me racontes
On s'capte plus tard gros
Ou j'sais pas, plus jamais même, c'est mieux
Okay, okay mec, j'te laisse pour le moment
Mais un jour va bien falloir que t'acceptes la réalité bordel
T'es différent mec, différent, c'est tout, t'es quelqu'un de
T'es spécial
In Laylow's song "+ De Pluie," the lyrics convey a conversation between two individuals, with one person consoling the other. The lines express the understanding that life can be difficult but necessary, and sometimes one has to endure some pain for the greater good. The singer reassures his friend that it is not the end and they still have plenty of things to prove to the world. However, the dialogue takes a turn when the friend starts following the singer around and the singer, feeling uncomfortable, asks him to leave. The singer explains that they may not know each other and, although they have technically been a team from the beginning, it is now time for the friend to listen more and understand their dynamic. The friend doesn't seem to comprehend and replies that he doesn't understand what the singer is talking about, suggesting that they'll catch up later or maybe never. The singer acknowledges this and tells him that he will have to accept reality someday, emphasizing that the friend is different but special.
Overall, the lyrics reflect the complexities and challenges of relationships, conveying the need to establish boundaries while still acknowledging the value of the other person. It showcases the singer's understanding of the friend's uniqueness but also the need for personal space and individual growth. The song seems to address themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and navigating the dynamics of interpersonal connections.
